Hey Everyone Here is my history. Regular bloodwork showed elevated liver enzymes in November 2012. Ultrasound showed fatty liver. Fatty liver progressed to NASH (diagnosed by liver biopsy) by November 2013. Biopsy showed stage 1 fibrosis. Doctor told me I must lose weight NOW! I began diet and exercse program. I've lost 25 lbs. I need to lose 25 more lbs to be at my normal weight. My enzymes were as follows: October 2013- AST 169 ALT 124 Began Weight Loss December 2013-AST 73 ALT 48 Jan 2014-AST 24 ALT 32 (NORMAL) May 2014-AST 19 ALT 19 (NORMAL) My doctor says I should continue to diet and exercise and we will check my enzymes every 6 months. I feel freaked out that he doesn't seem concerned any more. Should I be worried? Is it possible that my liver is getting worse even though my liver enzymes are normal? Thanks!
